Joined today by former NFL kicker and owner of Amazing Yoga, Sean Conley. After his NFL career at the Detroit Lions, Colts and New York Jets was cut short by an injury. Sean had to create a new identity for himself and now teaches yoga to Hollywood actors, the Pittsburgh Steelers, and thousands of people around the world.
Max Out Insights:
• Your mindset and self-talk have major effects on your performance. Be aware of how you communicate with yourself.
• Listen to your body, there’s a certain point where it isn’t healthy to keep pushing. Ease your mind, recover your body and try a different approach.
• Yoga is a gateway to access your mind and change your state both physically and mentally.
• Be in the present moment, if you don’t have control over what’s on your mind let it be and focus on living the here and the now.
• You can induce creative sparks and boost creativity by taking a simple walk in the park or going for a short hike.
